Died at the residence of her parents in the City of Bloomington, July 20th 1884, Miss Ada, youngest daughter of Andrew J. and Martha Hoover, age 19 years.
Miss Ada Hoover was well known to everyone in this community, and her death has attracted universal sympathy. No one had a more loveable nature than she, nor a better capacity for making friends. Whether in company with the
young or the old, her conduct was ever marked by a strict propriety. In society she was a general favorite, not more on account of her pleasant disposition than her general intelligence and good sense. But it is as a devoted Christian that we all love to remember her.
From earliest youth she has attended Sunday School and not many months before her decline had become teacher of a class. Her work in this position was well and conscientiously done. In 1879 she united with the Christian Church, the church to which her family all belong, and under no circumstances did she ever fail to honor the profession.
Ada was a girl of a really serious nature. She had the expense of cheerful and agreeable ways, but which always restrained her from participating in anything inconsistent with Christian life. She graduated from the high school in June, 1882, but last winter spent a month visiting the family of Mr. George Cooper at Columbus.
It was not until March 19th last that she took to her bed. From that time on she was patient and hopeful, never repining. Her failing health dates back to the fall of 1881. In the hope of benefiting her condition, she paid an extended visit in October 1882 to relatives in New Albany. While there she took a great deal of active recreation and was much improved. From that time one she was able to go about most of the time. She had never given utterance to a word of complaint, entertaining hopes of recovery. She never spoke of death until a few weeks ago when her failing strength made plain the fact that life was coming to
a close. She met it bravely and talked freely with the family about it. The night before she died, after taking an affectionate leave of all around her beside, she said, "I love you very much, but I want to go home."
Her Funeral took place from the Christian Church on Monday, July 21st. On this occasion the house was filled to its utmost capacity, and the expression of sorrow on every
face showed more clearly than words could express the universal esteem in which she was held. Her Sunday School class of some eight or ten young girls sat among the mourners and when the coffin was lowered into the grave each one deposited a bouquet as an affectionate offering to her memory.
In conclusion, the family desires me to express their sincere thanks in this public way, not only to their
immediate neighbors who were so unremitting in their attentions, but also to all throughout the community who during the illness and death of their daughter gave so many tokens of friendship and sympathy.
